Editor's Notes
- #4 People like Martin Luther King, Steve Jobs and Elon Musk – all have something in common.
- #5 The Golden Circle: Everyone knows WHAT they do, some knows HOW they do it, but FEW know WHY they do it. NOT a profit, that’s just a result. Why is your purpose your belief!! The great leaders and companies operates from the INSIDE out, starting with WHY not WHAT.
- #6 This is how most companies market. Say what it does, and why it is different. This is how most marketing and people communicate.
- #7 Here’s how APPLE sells
- #9 IT IS BIOLOGY not psychology. When we communicate from the outside in YES people can understand vast amount of information, facts and figures. It just DOESN”T drive behavior! But when we communicate from the inside OUT we communicate directly with the part of the brain that controls behavior, and then we allow them to rationalize it. This is where GUT feeling comes in, when people say yes I understand the facts and figures it just doesn’t FEEL right.
- #13 The innvoators and early adopters are driven by gut decision and what they BELIEVE. These are the people that will stand in line for 24 hours to get the new iphone, they want to be the first.
- #15 The tipping point (mass market success) lies between the Early Adapters and Early Majority at about 15-18%. Early majority will not try something before someone else have tried it first. When it comes to targeting sites for coverage and links we have tendency to THINK like Innovators and Early adopters but to get mass success we need to appeal to the early majority before achieving mass success. And to do that we need to focus on the core of the idea – WHY are we doing this. People don’t buy what you do BUT WHY you do it.

- #64 A group of scientists placed five monkeys in a cage, and in the middle, a ladder with bananas on top. Every time a monkey went up the ladder, the scientists soaked the rest of the monkeys with cold water. After a while, every time a monkey would start up the ladder, the others would pull it down and beat it up. After a time, no monkey would dare try climbing the ladder, no matter how great the temptation. The scientists then decided to replace one of the monkeys. The first thing this new monkey did was start to climb the ladder. Immediately, the others pulled him down and beat him up. After several beatings, the new monkey learned never to go up the ladder, even though there was no evident reason not to, aside from the beatings. The second monkey was substituted and the same occurred. The first monkey participated in the beating of the second monkey. A third monkey was changed and the same was repeated. The fourth monkey was changed, resulting in the same, before the fifth was finally replaced as well. What was left was a group of five monkeys that – without ever having received a cold shower – continued to beat up any monkey who attempted to climb the ladder.
